It's not great news


Well, Jessie's blood test results are in, but it's not great news. After the great drop in her levels after 2 weeks of daily camel treatments, we had high hopes we'd reach the magic number after another 2 weeks and be able to reduce her camel treatments. (Jessie's a trooper, but she doesn't like them.) Unfortunately, her numbers have actually gone up again. The specialist isn't very sure what to do. He suggested twice daily camel treatments, which Momma is against, and a supplement called Azodyl that he isn't sure works but can't hurt. <sigh> Momma is checking with her LBR friends to see if anyone has suggestions. One said Azodyl didn't help her pup at all, but something called Renal Essentials did.

If anyone has any experience with any renal supplements or other possibilities, Momma would appreciate the advice!

  1. Bummer, we were just about to read your earlier post when this popped up. We are so sorry the numbers are up. We don't have any experience with renal issues, but we hope somebody out there has some encouraging thoughts. Meanwhile we will continue to cross our paws and send good vibes for Jessie.

  4. Oh gurl, I had my paws crossed real tight that we would be celebrating your numbers. I'm hoping maybe one of these supplements can help. I wish I had more experience on this, butts we are just starting with the high protein in the urine, and all this is kidney stuff is new to us too. If I hear anything, I will bark at you. Paws crossed real tight that your vettie and Moms will find the right stuff. {{{hugs}}}

    1. Kidney food, two types of meds, and the daily camel treatment. We're looking for anything we can add to that that might help.
